Apparently deep holes were dug, lined with thin plastic, and then
filled with oil and raw sewage. The site is within 1 kilometer of
a village and school, and is just above a river used for drinking,
washing, and swimming. The motivation: it would cost
US$30,000 to appropriate dispose of the waste at apporved facilities in
the region whereas dumping illegally cost less than $200. The
company faces a potential fine of $35 million.

Noordam
Carnival
Corporation reported in its 10Q filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that on March 5, 2004, Holland
America Line notified the United States and Netherlands governmental
authorities that one of
its chief engineers had admitted to improperly processing bilge water
on
the Noordam. A subsequent internal investigation determined that the
improper operation may have begun in January 2004 and may have
continued sporadically through March 4, 2004. The matter had also
been raised by Coast Guard officials in San Juan, Puerto Rico to their
counterparts in Tampa following a report to them of the incidents.
It isn't clear whether Holland
America's self-report predates the report made by the Coast Guard.
Holland
America Line and three shipboard engineers have received grand jury
subpoenas
from the Office of the U.S. Attorney in Tampa, FL (where the ship was
homeported). (See CCL 10Q filed with the
SEC on April 8, 2004)
